Tiger-he is the man
AK-up and coming stud
Darren Clarke- guy can play, and coming back to win multiple times after his wifes passing was inspiring
Camillo Villegas-great fresh face and will inspire others to play around the world
Sergio-such a great player and when he finds his mental game he will be a force
Ian Poulter-flair and determined
Ryan Moore-I still think he will win a major and have 10+ wins on tour


there are definitely more but I can't think of them now, oh and they are in no particular order...except for Tiger

In the present:

Tiger, first and foremost, because he is the consummate golfer and a complete stud.

Padraig, because he is so clutch.

Justin Leonard, because of his putting stroke. (Not to mention that he's a great guy as well.)

Brandt Snedeker, because of his on- and off-course playfulness and smiles. (I'm surprised more people haven't named Brandt.)

Morgan Pressel, because of her passion.

------------------------------------

In the past:

Ben Hogan, because of his quiet confidence and refusal to quit.

Harry Vardon, because of his class and unparalleled success.

Craig Wood, because he fought so tenaciously before he finally won the big one.

Ken Ventui, because he fought so tenaciously before he finally won the big one.

Harry Cooper, because he fought so tenaciously and never won the big one.

Harvie Ward, because of his brilliance in a career cut short over technicalities.

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts

Craig Wood, because he fought so tenaciously before he finally won the big one.

I am glad to see someone recognize Craig Wood for what he did. He was the first player to win the Masters and the US Open in the same year, and did receive proper recognition by being elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame this year. Since he was already in the old PGA Hall of Fame in Pinehurst, this was a proper move.

Being Canadian, Mike Weir is the man for me. I have also started cheering more for Sergio and AK lately. Darren Clarke is a guy I always pull for too.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
